Bathroom allotments are up,

Venetian blinds are down and ping pong balls keep landing in the kitchen. Those are the headlines this week. And now, here is the news.

Green day


Despite the fact that we set up the innocent foundation in 2004, it’s taken us until now to get round to giving it a birthday. Which is pretty tardy in terms of belated present buying. So on Monday (after 6 years of waiting), Linda and the foundation guardians changed all that by getting Foundation Day well and truly cemented into the Fruit Towers calendar. Everyone wore green, the loo got a hessian make over, party games like Pass the Potato and Carry the Water were played and Emma H and Ben did a special run to demonstrate how far women in Southern Sudan have to walk for water. Have a look at what went down right here.


King of the (very big) hills


After months of training, bad B&Bs and countless missed social engagements, on 18th July, Mark got up at 4am to join 10,000 other riders in taking on on the Etape - the toughest leg of the Tour de France. The first 80km passed in a blur, followed by two very steep mountains (the Marie Blanque and Soulor) at which point, temperatures hit 36C and Mark had a bike chain failure. Luckily, some unnamed French legend sorted him out and after 7 hours pedaling, Mark took on the biggest baddest mountain of them - the Tourmalet. It was the mountain who came off worst in the end as Mark sailed up it and completed the race in just over 9 hours. He also helped raise £60,000 for charity and didn’t get any chafing related injuries whatsoever. Check out the awe inspiring man-in-action photos right here.

 


Goose v Monkey

Ever found yourself lying awake in the wee hours, pondering over whether a jellyfish could beat a giraffe in an crayon illustrated battle? Well, ponder no more for the answer is right here. Following the success of our earlier imaginary animal rumble, Zoe, Ceri, Claire and Oli have penned/crayoned a brand new installment. This one features a monkey, a frog and a robin called Simon. It should keep you amused for at least 1 minute and 48 seconds, if not a bit more. Busy yourself here.

Atha added Coffee Machine Husbandry and Upkeep to his job description, the sandwich man was replaced by the sandwich lady, Ceri’s bruise still hasn’t gone, Bryony has mastered answering 3 phones at once, Sam got a swank new hairdo, someone put a grow bag in the bathroom and Glee Club will now take place every Monday in the gym.


 twit bits...

Did anyone see @livelivealexh on BBC4 on a horse last night? Some very risky behaviour, had us a bit worried about his record attempt.


@JeffYYTong He should only play with docile hamsters.

@TinkaTayla I have many bee friendly seeds and, seeing as I have no garden, have been guerilla gardening my way through london :)


@TinkaTayla Good going. Guerilla gardening is very fashionable at the minute we hear.

bob of the week

This week’s Bob of the week is Bob the Boat. Or mini-sail to be precise.

Bob belongs to Katie (pictured) and in boat terms, is entering his twilight years. All who board him must address him as Robert until he gets to know them a little better. Fancy being our Bob of the Week? just email iambob@innocentdrinks.co.uk



corner of the week


This week’s corner is Grizzly corner. It’s the bit of the woods where these bears hang out, discuss the finer points of cave maintenance and dissect stolen picnic baskets.
Seeing as it’s the time of year where everything is warmer, the grizzlas start venturing towards the tree line in search of food right about now in preparation for salmon catching season at the end of the summer. So if you go down to the woods today and those woods happen to be in North America, then be sure to avoid that north westerly corner.
